What have you had to sacrifice to get better at pool?

SO you want to be a Great Pool Player, do like most of the GREATS DID. Give up a normal life, job, family, girl friend, boy friend, play, and practice POOL 12 - 14 Hours A Day, 7 Days a Week. Sleep in your car if you have one when you are busted. Hope you make the Big Time!

What a stupid assed response!!!!
 
If you'd stop posting on here and just played pool your game would skyrocket.

Couldn't agree more! Its funny on how many hours people spend on az. And imagine how much better they would be if they put those hours on the table.

You make a good post. Some people need motivators.

Let me know if your around my way, I'll make sure you enjoy your time through the neighborhood.

Best Comment: 4 cows and some other stuff.
 
Justnum where do you play? I think you are in California. Do you have a real name you would like to share?

That is due to overestimating your actual value.

It takes a serious social retard to join an online community despite the belief that you are too smart to even talk to most of the people here.

I'll bet you cry yourself to sleep at night.

That's pretty good!!!

I guess if I am honest I sacrificed allot of time away from my ex wife, which is probably why she is my EX! At one time in my life pool was my main priority. Everything else came second.
It is still a big part of my life but it doesn't come before my wife or kids now.

The funny thing is that since I have my priorities straight and I dont feel guilty for being at the pool hall, I can focus better on what I am doing and get more enjoyment from it. (and more success)

As personal as that comment is, it is an extreme I haven't gotten to. Whether good or bad who knows, but how much better are you at pool as a result.
 
thousands of hours.

Most times I know my playing ability, but to get to the next level I am starting to think differently. Athletes call it hitting a plateau. To get to the next level I need advice from people that have made it there.

So I ask, "What have you had to sacrifice to get better at pool?"

I have sacrificed thousands of hours if not tens of thousands of hours to this game. So anything you can do with thousands of hours, I've sacrificed, learning a new language, furthering a career, more time with the family, with my daughter....

Luckily, I've been able to spend lots of time with my family and practice pool so it hasn't been so bad, but you've got to put in the time if you want to improve...
